Here are a few ideas of things to do in the month of September in coastal Georgia:

Gray’s Reef Ocean Film Festival – Sept 17 – 19, 2010Savannah is probably most known for its big film festival in October, but the Ocean Film Festival is gaining in popularity. This year the film festival screens many interesting and important films made about the oil spill.
